If you’re ever in the Portland, Oregon area in the springtime, this place is a must-see. Enormous, magnificent, and brilliantly conceived and tended, it just knocked my socks off. Rain or shine, a scenic wonderland. Please see Free Photos “next door” (link below the header above) for more from that locale. You can search there for Japanese garden if that series is no longer at the top.

I’m very happy you’ve shown us these gardens. I lived just outside of Portland for a few years, and I’m sad that I never made it to visit this beautiful spot. you’ve done it justice with this fabulous photo. it’s dreamy.
